individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor
from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to sepa­rate of air flow circulation.

Multi-Flow System

Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This
provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your
food fresh longer.

Xtra Space

TM

• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space
for pizza etc.

Door Alarm

•

A beeper reminds you if the door is left open.

Xtra Fresh

TM

• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.

Deodorizer (optional)

• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and
odor free.

CoolSelect Zone

TM

Drawer(optional)

• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons for quickly
chill, thaw and cools items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to
control the temperature of drawer.

SETTING UP THE

REFRIGERATOR

Once you have performed the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational. If not, check
the power supply and electricity source. If you have any questions, contact your SAMSUNG
service center.

Place the refigerator in an appropriate loca­tion with reasonable clearance between the
wall and the refigerator.
(refer to installation instructions in this man­nal)

Set the temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The
freezer should get slightly chilled and the
motor should run smoothly.

refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it
takes a few hours to reach the appropriate
temperature.

When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should come on when
you open the doors.
